How about adding this section before "Patch review" ?
+netdev is a busy mailing list with on average over 200 emails received per day,
+which can be overwhelming to beginners. Rather than subscribing to the entire
+list, considering using ``lei`` to only subscribe to topics that you are
+interested in. Konstantin Ryabitsev wrote excellent tutorials on using ``lei``:
+
+ - https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/lore-lei-part-1-getting-started
+ - https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/lore-lei-part-2-now-with-imap
+
+As a netdev beginner, you may want to filter out driver changes and only focus
+on core netdev changes. Try using the following query with ``lei q``::
+
+  lei q -o ~/Mail/netdev \
+    -I https://lore.kernel.org/all \
+    -t '(b:b/net/* AND tc:netdev@vger.kernel.org AND rt:2.week.ago..'
Let's add a sentence pointing out the b:b/net hack and why it's needed.
